Compass Hospice is looking for Certified Pet Therapy Animals to visit our patients. Do you have a dog or cat that qualifies? If you want to brighten the the last days of someone's life, then this could be for you and your Therapy Pet!
Compassionate Volunteers are at the heart of Interim Hospice's mission. Compass Hospice's philosophy is to improve the quality of life when quantitiy is limited.
We provide training and support for you as a Volunteer. Volunteering can be done during the day, evenings or weekends. Volunteer for an hour or more each week and make a lifelong impact on someone with your Cerified Pet Therapy Animal.
